Parker County Commissioners Court lined up cameras, radios, plats, and fee-setting in late July
Parker County's Commissioners Court had a busy end of July, with two meetings scheduled to take up law enforcement technology, county equipment purchases, subdivision plats, and the 2027 sheriff and constable fee schedule. However, minutes have not yet been published for any of the late-July meetings, so it is not yet possible to confirm which items were approved, how commissioners voted, or whether any items were postponed.
Commissioners Court — July 21
The July 21 agenda listed several notable items for consideration:
